Invisible Generation

These powerful ads for the Prince's Trust, shot by Samuel Hicks, have been around for a few months now, but I didn't realise (until I met Sam's agent Jaq, the other day) quite how they were put together. The figures weren't created in clever post production but were shot in camera after having been painted to merge seamlessly with the background. I'm always a fan of shooting things for real and love the fact that this was decided as the best course of action as I think it heightens the viewer's double-take reaction all the more. Samuel Hicks

About Me

I commission photography and illustration for a living and thought it would be good to share some of the wonderful work I get sent daily to others who might appreciate it as much as I do! Sadly I can't commission everyone so maybe this helps to shine a brighter spotlight on the talented people I come across and meet. Also it's a good place to show work that I like and think inspiring, whether it's been used for a commercial purpose or created by pure artistic endeavour.
It's also a bit of scrapbook /memory nudge for me when I need to quickly
recall something great I've seen.
I should add at this point that any work you see on this blog is the copyright of the artist who created it who I always credit.
